Symptom narrative

Patient experienced soreness in arm within hours. The following morning upon waking up, left axillary lymph nodes were swollen and patient was experiencing neuropathy and paresthesia in left arm. The lymph nodes were swollen for a few days. Over the next few weeks, neuropathy in the left arm persisted, radiating down the entire arm. The arm would burn, tingle, and sometimes go completely numb. After 2 months, the neuropathy reduced slightly, localizing to upper inner arm and armpit area where it still occurs. In Jan 2025, patient made appointment and was seen by plastic surgeon who performed breast augmentation in 2014 to have implants checked to rule out issues were being caused by implants. Plastic surgeon cleared patient and felt issues were caused by flu shot. Patient had PCP examine area, do lab work, and underwent an axillary ultrasound and mammogram in attempt to diagnosis/identify cause in Jan 2025. Results of tests did not reveal any anatomical abnormalities or identifiable cause. As of Feb 2025, neuropathy and paresthesia persist.
